AbstractWupatkiite (Co,Mg,Ni)Al2(SO4)4.22H2O is a new member of the halotrichite group. It occurs 8 miles ESE of Gray Mountain, Arizona, near the prehistoric pueblo dwelling Wupatki. It occurs as cross-fibre veinlets with fibres up to 8mm long. Colour: empire rose (RHS48C), streak white, H. = 1 ½. G = 1.92, D(calc) = 1.87g/cm3. Nonpleochroic with α = 1.477, γ = 1.484, Z^fibre axis = 12°. Wet chemistry gave MgO 1.63, CaO 0.10, MnO 0.17, FeO 0.15, NiO 0.52, CuO 0.12, CoO 3.41, Al2O3 11.30, SO3 35.97, H2O 42.26 (total 95.63%); rem. = montmorillonite and quartz. Parameters refinedo from the powder pattern are close to those of halotrichite. Wupatkiite is monoclinic P21/c with a = 6.189 Å, b = 24.23 Å, c = 21.20 Å, β = 100.33°. Strongest lines are 4.790, 100 (024); 4.295, 27 (140); 3.945, 26 (025); 3.768, 33 (062); 3.494, 92 (124, 063).

The viability of the direct-space strategy TALP (Vallcorba et al., 2012b) to solve crystal structures of molecular compounds from laboratory powder diffraction data is shown. The procedure exploits the accurate metric refined from a ‘Bragg-Brentano’ powder pattern to extract later the intensity data from a second ‘texture-free’ powder pattern with the DAJUST software (Vallcorba et al., 2012a). The experimental setup for collecting this second pattern consists of a circularly collimated X-ray beam and a 2D detector. The sample is placed between two thin Mylar® foils, which reduces or even eliminates preferred orientation. With the combination of the DAJUST and TALP software a preliminary but rigorous structural study of organic compounds can be carried out at the laboratory level. In addition, the time-consuming filling of capillaries with diameters thinner than 0.3mm is avoided.

Structural and chemical deterioration and its impact on cell wall mechanics were investigated for visually intact cell walls (VICWs) in waterlogged archaeological wood (WAW). Cell wall mechanical properties were examined by nanoindentation without prior embedding. WAW showed more than 25% decrease of both hardness and elastic modulus. Changes of cell wall composition, cellulose crystallite structure and porosity were investigated by ATR-FTIR imaging, Raman imaging, wet chemistry, 13C-solid state NMR, pyrolysis-GC/MS, wide angle X-ray scattering, and N2 nitrogen adsorption. VICWs in WAW possessed a cleavage of carboxyl in side chains of xylan, a serious loss of polysaccharides, and a partial breakage of β-O-4 interlinks in lignin. This was accompanied by a higher amount of mesopores in cell walls. Even VICWs in WAW were severely deteriorated at the nanoscale with impact on mechanics, which has strong implications for the conservation of archaeological shipwrecks.
